Period English recipes often refer to "marrow bones".

I keep encountering this word in the old Hungarian cookbooks, and I
can't seem to come up with a satisfactory translation. The dictionary
defines _konc_ primarily as a bone you throw to a dog, but mentions an
older meaning of a bone with membranes or meaty and fatty parts
attached, cooked for human consumption. The recipes mentioning it give
the impression that it was considered a positive thing: too common to
be a delicacy, but desirable like one. The derogatory associations
apparently came later.
Is there a word for this bone-with-stuff in English? Archaic will do;
there'll be a footnote and glossary entry either way.
